Bachchan took to Facebook where he posted the review from Variety magazine which read: "By far the liveliest work in the film comes from two actors with only a few minutes of screen time between them: the lithe, long-limbed newcomer Elizabeth Debicki as gabby golf pro Jordan Baker, and, in a single scene that marks his belated Hollywood debut, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan as the flamboyant Jewish 'gambler' Meyer Wolfsheim."

The 70-year-old star responded to the praise, saying: "In shocked disbelief .. no no this cannot be true .. !!!"

The actor went on to recall his first meeting with the film's director Baz Luhrmann, stating: "Baz remembers his meeting with us and a meal at his place here in NYC .. I wondered if he had forgotten ... people in his position and standing would perhaps do ... and legitimate too, without offense .. they are big and large and of much greater importance ... they are tall and I am not at all .. !!"
